Tagging unreproducible because I can't reproduce it, although it
happened both here and in #845334.

Tagging moreinfo because I wonder if this was some issue with previous
versions.  Please check the timestamp of any issue-causing .desktop file
and report the wine version and its origin installed at that time.
